| U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles |
Federal campaign finance disclosures were due on Wednesday, and while we are still poring through them, a couple of items stood out.
Congressional District 5 U.S. Rep. Andy Ogles, a Republican, in the first quarter of 2026 raised $138,500. To be frank, that's not diddly squat for an incumbent.
His Republican primary opponent, former Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher, equaled him, raising $135,000, and his chief Democratic rivals both ran laps around him. Columbia Mayor Chaz Molder reported raising $613,800 for the same period and Metro Nashville Councilmember Mike Cortese reported $273,000.
With seven months before the general election, many things can happen, including super PACs or independent expenditure groups parachuting loads of money into the district on Ogles' behalf: incumbents can never be counted out.
